Hi all,

Long story below, skip to questions if you want

I have a 1 yr old IG Gunite 28k pool. This past January I had a hose freeze and the bladder on the polaris pump froze breaking and caused me to lose a lot of water over the course of about 4 weeks. During this period I kept filling the pool with fresh water almost daily. The leak is now repaired and my Aqua Rite is saying check salt. It started warming up enough about a month ago and at that time it was reading about 2600 ppm a few weeks ago and now I can't even tell by the diagnostics how much salt I have. If I am reading the correct number it is about 90ppm but that seems way to low because it was reading 2600 after the leak was fixed. Currently, I am just using Clorox to maintain my chlorine till I can get salt back in.

My questions are:

Is there a point that the Aqua Rite is unable to determine the ppm of salt?

What kind of salt is recommended to add to the pool?

Where is the least expensive place to purchase said salt?

What qualities should I look for for and/or stay away from?

I am glad this forum is back and look forward to the responses.

Thanks,
Jeff
